South India Trip - Dec 24, 2022 to Jan 01, 2023
I have received multiple requests to share specific details of the recent road trip we undertook. So, here is a write-up. I chose to put it up in the blog, as it ended up being lengthy for a FB post. That also gave me the flexibility to add relevant pictures (there are loads of them!). This trip was originally planned as a self-drive but eventually we decided to hire a vehicle. So we made some changes on the go, as well. There were no night drives, considering the days were quite packed and we had a toddler in toe. Despite that, on most days we started the day at 5 AM and on a couple of days at 4 AM as well. Also, we had to work around on the timings and places in a few cases, as some of the major destinations were overcrowded due to the congregation of pilgrims heading to/from Sabarimala, Melmaruvathur & Tiruchendur, in addition to bus loads of pilgrims from Northern parts of the country and tourists on year end vacation. With that premise, here you go! Day 1...
